Last Friday, my husband I noticed a orange tabby cat hanging out on our back porch and hasn't left. She (he?) seems to leave around dusk but is back by the time we leave for work. The cat was very friendly (immediately came up to us meowing, purring, heading butting us), but she's skinny, has some fleas, so has clearly been living outside for little while. We tried to get hold of the rescues in our area (Charleston WV) but everyone is at max capacity. We haven't fed the cat, since we didn't really want to take in a third cat. We have two resident cats, one of whom would probably be fine with a third cat, but the other cat would likely go on strike/plot our murders (she is not a fan of our second cat, they don't fight but its clear they are not bff).
So we've reached a cross roads, I'm aching to feed the cat because I worry about its health (the cat has claws, but its so small!), but I know if we feed the cat that means we've essentially adopted her. What do we do? Is there any other way to find this cat a home or have we accidentally adopted a third pet? What do we do if our one resident cat loses her mind if she has to put up with other cat? I feel so anxious for all three!
